Has anybody used these?

I purchased a few on another forum as a group purchase. I've only used them once, more as preventive maintenance on an old McIntosh tube amp. I know a few folks that swear by them. Don't cost much, give them a try.

Bill, Good to hear. My son is living in Canada and is venturing into 'hifi'. He has purchased an old(30 plus years) Beomaster receiver and wishes to clean the RCA sockets.

I have let him know about the cleaning tool. Must get it, myself.

Cheers, Marshall.

Interesting! Wasn't aware of it, though was recently dreaming of ways to modify/use the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser technology, but this one would have never popped up in my consciousness unless I needed one more rigid than just poking/rotating it in the eraser. Still, if I can find some locally............ Thanks for heads up!

be cooler if you could chuck them up in a drill.

Actually, the proper way to use them is to push in and pull out without twisting. It seems counter intuitive, I know.
